The
Federation has grown as a strong and militant trade union
of Officers organisations during the last 40 years.
The Federation has brought about several improvements in the
Service Conditions of the Officers community. As a pragmatic
and a true organisation, AISBOF cannot function in isolation
looking after the welfare of its members only. It has to respond
to the expectations and aspirations of the society at large.
As a responsible trade union, the Federation has been encouraging
various welfare activities by the Circle Associations, which
not only cater to the needs of the membership but also the
society at large. The establishment of educational institutions
is one of the welfare activities encouraged by the Federation
in this direction.

The job of an Officer is transferable. Providing
quality education to their wards is the prime concern of all
the officers. They do not always get seats in the Central
Schools as these schools afford priority only to children
of Central Government Employees. The bank, of course, has
arrangements with some Central Schools as also the schools
run by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan at a few centres. But these
facilities are woefully inadequate. Despite our repeated pleas,
nothing much has been done by the Bank to improve the situation.
Accordingly, the Federation has decided to bridge the gap
to mitigate the hardship faced by our members.

National Council of SBOA Educational Institutions
has been set up to guide the educational activities of the
Circle Associations. Our Chennai Circle Association has already
made spectacular progress in the field of education. They
have established schools at Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore and
Ernakulam. The Schools have a high reputation for the standard
they have attained both in the State and Central syllabus.
The results secured by them year after year have made their
schools very popular among the parents seeking admission to
their wards.
